Friends of Danada Scholarships

Friends of Danada (FOD) offers support to young adults through multiple scholarships. Currently, three $1,000 scholarships are available to students who graduate high school in 2026 and enter college, or to students currently attending community college and majoring in one of the following: plant sciences, animal sciences, agricultural business, or environmental sciences.

“We need to tell the story of agriculture that we are rightfully proud of,” said Brennan Costello, National FFA Central Region Vice President. Over the years, this has primarily been through activities at the Fall Festival / Model Farm and during the “Down on the Farm” school field trip program.

All applications are due to the Friends of Danada office at Danada House, 3S501 Naperville Road, Wheaton, by 4 p.m. on Friday, June 12, 2026. Award announcements will be made by July 15, 2026. For questions regarding the application, send an email to director@danadahouse.org.
